Fron Tyler Baker- Rocket Mortgage:

Hey there — Happy Friday!

Buckle up — this week's rate story had real drama. Here's the short version.

Iran called the shots on mortgage rates this week. Trump's comments at the NATO summit Wednesday that the ceasefire was "over" sent oil prices sharply higher — and where oil goes, inflation fears and Treasury yields tend to follow. The 10-year yield spiked and mortgage rates surged toward 10-month highs by mid-week. Rates clawed back some ground Thursday and Friday as oil eased and peace-talk signals returned. The bottom line: oil headlines are moving rates more than economic data right now, and the volatility isn't over. (CNBC)

The Fed minutes and jobs data softened the rate-hike narrative — a little. Notes from June's FOMC meeting, released Thursday, showed only a few policymakers actually favored a rate hike — more moderate than the dot plot made it sound. June's jobs report added to that picture: only 57K jobs added versus 110K expected, the weakest print since early 2024. Rate-hike odds have pulled back from their peak, and some analysts now think we avoid a hike altogether if oil and hiring stay soft. The Fed meets again this month — that's the next key watch. (HousingWire)

Buyers aren't waiting — pending home sales just logged their 7th straight monthly gain. Despite everything, buyers keep moving. Pending sales rose again in June for the seventh consecutive month, and homes are spending the same amount of time on market as a year ago — the first time that's been true in over two years. Pent-up demand is real and it's active.

Kansas City: thin inventory, sellers still holding the cards. Local supply sits at just 2.4 months — down more than 11% from a year ago — while year-to-date closed sales are running 5% above last year's pace. Sellers in May averaged 98.8% of original list price. Buyers are showing up and competition is real. A fully underwritten pre-approval is still the difference between the offer that wins and the one that doesn't. (Kansas City Regional Association of REALTORS®)

Weekly Mortgage & Housing Market Update
From Steve Hendriksen of 365Loans
6/20/2026
This past week was a doozy. Between Middle East tensions, a Federal Reserve meeting, and markets being closed Friday for Juneteenth, there was no shortage of headlines. Surprisingly, the bond market handled it all fairly well, which is an encouraging sign as we head deeper into the summer housing market
Market Snapshot:
Middle East tensions cool as the Strait of Hormuz remains open and a 60-day peace negotiation window begins.
Fed holds rates steady while signaling future decisions will remain data-dependent.
The infamous "dot plot" continues losing credibility as policymakers distance themselves from long-term projections.
AI enters the mortgage space aggressively with a startup raising $4.1 million to build an autonomous loan officer.
53% of buyers would consider an AI-driven home purchase, but most still want human guidance for major decisions.
FHFA seeks expanded authority to pursue mortgage fraud directly while implementing new AI fraud detection tools.
Congress reaches agreement on major housing legislation aimed at limiting institutional investor activity in single-family homes.
The bond market showed surprising resilience despite geopolitical tensions, Fed headlines, and economic uncertainty.

Fed Holds Rates Steady
The Federal Reserve held rates steady.
No rate hike.
No rate cut.
Markets largely expected this outcome.

THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY A HOUSE! It's more than just the prices being up. Its about being able to afford the home AFTER you buy it.
Foreclosure filings are continuing to trend higher in early 2026.
According to Q1 2026 data from ATTOM, foreclosure filings increased both on a quarterly and year-over-year basis.
But the more interesting story isn’t just that foreclosures are rising; it’s why.
It’s not a wave of risky lending like 2008. It’s a steady buildup of pressure from the cost side of homeownership. We’re talking about property taxes, insurance premiums, HOA fees, and general cost-of-living increases that are stacking on top of already stretched household budgets.
To be clear, this isn’t signaling a crash. Volumes are still well below crisis-era levels.
But it does suggest something important: the housing market isn’t just about prices anymore. It’s also about affordability after the purchase.
The question is no longer just “Can you buy a home?”
It’s becoming “Can you afford to keep it?”

Foreclosure filings hit their highest level since 2020
Edited by Laura Stewart, Editor at LinkedIn News
Foreclosure filings have surged to the highest level since early 2020, fueled by rising insurance costs, property taxes and the end of COVID-era relief programs, The Wall Street Journal reports. Nearly 119,000 properties faced foreclosure in the first quarter — a 26% year-over-year increase. Homeowners are experiencing "payment shocks" from taxes, insurance and job struggles, says Marina Walsh, an economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association. The surge comes amid other financial pressures, including rising credit card delinquency rates and the return of student loan payments.

When Kayla Palmer and her husband bought their first house, they found more expensive issues than they bargained for.
